About Investigator Conflict of Interest (ICOI):
ICOI offers comprehensive training on conflict of interest (COI) for research investigators. Unlike other online COI training courses, ICOI addresses both non-financial and financial conflict of interest (FCOI). Research investigators must be broadly knowledgeable about conflict of interest to ensure objectivity in research and some federal and non-federal funding entities require investigators to manage both financial and non-financial conflicts of interest. In addition, ICOI also covers conflict considerations in the review, oversight, and publication of research. The course was created by the Learn eCORE Founders and vetted by experts in conflict of interest and the federal FCOI regulations.
ICOI is organized to teach key definitions, relevant regulations, and policies, including the federal FCOI regulations, and mitigation strategies. Successful completion of this COI training will meet federal requirements for FCOI training. It can also complement institutional COI training.
ICOI reinforces learning through frequent knowledge checks, interactive exercises, and realistic case studies drawn from clinical research and other research disciplines. Mastery of course content is demonstrated by a passing score of 80% or higher on a final course quiz.
